Question
The diagram in fig. shows an incident ray AO and the normal ON on a plane mirror. Draw the reflected ray. State the law you use to draw the direction of the reflected ray.
Solution
Law of reflection of light is used to draw the direction of the reflected ray.
This law states that angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
